@O_Oluwole on GBPUSD | PriceONN Community

Wait, I think I was looking at the wrong chart earlier. The S2 pivot is at 1.33647, and we're trading just above that. If we break below that level, especially with that broader dollar strength everyone's talking about, it could get ugly fast. My stop is just below that, so fingers crossed.

Hey @O_Oluwole, I get what you're saying about pivots on GBPUSD. They can be tricky, especially when the market seems determined to fake everyone out. I've found that looking at them in conjunction with volume can sometimes help. Like, if price is testing a pivot but volume is low, it might be a fake breakout. Also, don't forget about how those big banks or 'whales' can manipulate price around key levels. They love to hunt stops right near those pivot points, especially the S1 and S2 levels. It's like they know exactly where we're putting our stop losses. I'm also seeing some chatter about energy prices affecting the dollar, which in turn pushes GBPUSD around. It's all connected, and honestly, it feels rigged most of the time. Keep an eye on the dollar index too, it often gives clues.

Hey @O_Oluwole, I hear you on the pivot points for GBPUSD. They're essential tools, no doubt, but you're right, they can be a bit misleading if you're not careful. My go-to is actually a combination of the standard Daily Pivots with some Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the previous day's range. I find that when a key pivot (like your S2 at 1.33647, though it looks like it's shifted slightly now to 1.33159) coincides with a strong Fib level, that's where you get the real conviction. For example, if we're seeing a bounce off the 61.8% Fib retracement and it's also near a pivot support, that's a much stronger signal than a pivot alone. I also keep an eye on the RSI; if it's showing divergence around these levels, it adds another layer of confirmation. Don't rely on just one indicator, always stack your confluences. It takes time to build that intuition.
